Nah, I think more people would make New Zealand better. The entertainment market for example is pitifully small, so firstly it's really hard to make a living out of music, writing, film etc, and also for some things there's less opportunity or room in the market to make really good stuff, becuause it wouldn't be viable and so it never gets done commercially...

Hmmm, if I ever writing was to take off for me, then the plan would be to live in the UK for a period. I'm also planning on doing ministry in Ireland at some point...but, no matter, what I'll always be coming back, cos I love NZ to bits!!!

I found (while working at a bookstore) most of the big name NZ authors were listed as published in the UK also. Theres a much larger market there, so hopefully that's the sort of publication you can find. But they still lived here (benefits of the shrinking globe).

Ministry in Ireland is an interesting choice. Why Ireland? And remember that there are some fairly intense relgious quarrels opver there.

Why Ireland? Well, something you must know about me is that I've been intensely passionate about the Irish culture for the past 8 years or so. I have Irish heritage, and I believe Ireland is my spiritual home, and I reckon I'd still go there to live, even if I wasn't Christian.
It is WHY there is so much religious friction over there that I want to go. My discipler/mentor went on a missions trip to Northern Ireland when she was at uni, and she found that while most of the people belonged to some denomination of Christianity, it was strictly a political label. There were very few that actually went to church, or knew what it meant to have a relationship with Christ, and there was a lot of spiritual apathy.
So basically, what I want to do is show people they can have a relationship with God, free from any political crap or religious conflict. Catholics and Protestants essentially worship the same God, right? And yeah, I just wanna make a difference for young people who live over there.
I dunno, it might not end up working out, we'll have to see. Que sera.

I think there is plenty of room for those two million to come back also, particularly if effort goes into making the south island and smaller towns more appealing.

The South Island is appealing enough as it is! :D



feh, I probably over-romanticise it because of the (only real in the sense that Merseybeat was real, in that it was an all-encompassing name someone gave it, hee) Dunedin Sound, 'n stuff.

I don't mean its not a nice place, jsut that there so much room but people tend to look for jobs and lifestyles further north.

All the Dunedin ads are a good start, but I think the government should encourage different business growth down there. Also they should provide breaks or bonuses to doctors working isolated places.

And National says with a budget excess we should cut taxes. We should spend it on all the things that the populace complain about. The nurses payrise is a good start.

for a small country you have some amazing music, writing and film.. perhaps not good market for the artists - but for a visitor/short-term resident it was an awesome experience!
